"The King's Speech — a crowning achievement powered by a dream cast — digs vibrant human drama out of the dry dust of history...Firth's nuanced brilliance is a thing of bruised beauty. Oscar-nominated last year for A Single Man, he gives a towering performance that deserves a shower of awards. And Rush is his match, fiercely funny in the hilarious and heartfelt interactions between king and commoner." (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)
